Investigation Summary
At 1:30 a.m. on June 14, 2022, an employee and a coworker were power washing highway overpasses and bridge foundations. The employee and a coworker were riding in the back of a box truck that was towing a trailer with power washing equipment. They were heading to the next worksite along a highway when the employee fell from the unsecured tailgate. The employee was run over by the equipment trailer in a Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) work-zone incident. The employee was struck by, crushed, and caught between the over-the-road equipment trailer and the road, killing him. The employer failed to ensure that each employee had adequate seating during travel from work site to work site in the back of a box truck within the established traffic control zone. The employees were assigned to perform operations to include but not limited to expansion joint repair, pressure washing, and application of preservative coatings.
